WORTH IT
I haven't been able to update for a while now. I'm more active and trying to lose weight. Now that my breast is so small I can see how big my stomach is. Here are some pics ....enjoy!

glad you are enjoying life on the smaller side. are you managing to drive and do most things now? I am still very careful about lifting. Will be back swimming in a week or 2
I have been driving since 14 days. I'm just very cautious when turning to reverse. The seat belt can be a bother but I hold it off my breast with the other hand.
I noticed we went to the same plastic surgery group although we had different doctors.
How are you feeling now that your breasts are settling? The first couple of weeks are hard because you really aren't sure what your breasts will look like when the swelling goes down. Your surgeon seems to have taken a lot off from the side view.
I had liposuction on the side. But as time goes I'm falling more in love with my breast. I am feeling great. How about you?
It took me about three months for my breasts to settle and once they did I fell in love with them. I just love not having to lug around large breasts any more. My only problem was the down time after the surgery and I ate out of boredom. More weight to lose. Enjoy your new breasts.
Glad to see you loving your results !!!! You are looking great !!!

Feeling better
Hello here is a quick update on my progress thus far. I'm trying to be more helpful around the house. I am still seeing some leakage from my right side. I'm still sleeping on my back and that's uncomfortable. When did you start driving after surgery? And when did you hold you child again? By the way I'm still swollen.

I started driving 10 days post op, I'm 16 days post now and still find it a bit difficult to back up and shoulder check, but it's getting better each day, good luck to you!
Ok thank u
Just got cleared for driving if I felt OK about it, I am 14 days post op. I am fine sleeping on my back in a rectangle of 4 pillows - head, under knees and either side to support arms. Leakage can be fat necrosis which is common and not an issue. You look great and are doing very well, but don't do too much!
I think I started driving around 10 days post-op. Sounds like you are doing good. I am 6 week post-op and think I probably still have some swelling on the sides. But it does get better. You will see a drastic difference in the next few weeks. Good luck with your continued recovery.
Thanks
Thank you. I try to limit my activity but with a little one it's hard
You look great! What type of surgical bra are you wearing?
I am wearing sports bra that close in front and also a seamless wireless from walmart that also close in front.
Thanks.
Have you seen your ps yet and asked him about the scars and why your nipples point down?
